If we take the switch out of the stack and replace it with a new one will it pull the config from the stack or will re have to reload it? &nbsp;Would we reload only that switch or would reloading the whole stack push the config to the new switch? &nbsp;Sorry for the questions, but we are all a little green when it comes to Cisco.<br />

thank you

No it will not get the config. you must configure it manually.

We have a cluster of Cisco 3750e Catalyst switches. &nbsp;Recently one of them has stopped functioning. &nbsp;It now only displays a blinking green syst light and all of the ports are dead, as in no lights. &nbsp;I do not have much experience with switches and configuring/troubleshootin<wbr />g them. &nbsp;We have tried reloading the cluster and that did not resolve the issue. &nbsp;We have also tried power cycling the switch and the status remained the same.<br />

Any ideas what could cause this? &nbsp;Is this switch dean?<br />

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
